So summer is coming to an end. Fires, the extent of which cannot be compared to the past, caused damages worth 500 million euros, claims the association of French insurers.

While our government politicians scream something about the end of the climate crisis, China has taken the opportunity in recent years. They have initiated investments in renewable sources and new technologies because they can profit from them. (translated)
The idea that a few rain showers will solve the drought is probably as rational as the belief that the Earth is flat. The government should say what specifically it is doing to retain water in the landscape, instead of promising castles in the air. Those will not retain water. Not a drop. (translated)

This cynical trolling and ignoring of the climate crisis is pure political irresponsibility. People in the countryside are dealing with missing water, but for (translated)
This is not a joke. This is the raw arrogance of a person who, with a glass of sparkling wine, mocks people whose country is dying. Macinka returned from vacation, sat down in the studio XTV, and with a smirk stated that "galactic intersucco" is just hysteria because he was easily doing fine every other day on vacation. (translated)

Já to nechápu. Babišova vláda bojuje proti EU a greendealu, který mnoho opatření proti suchu řeší, pak zruší na MŽP klimatickou krizi, vyhází odborníky a když už teda sucho ohrozí byznys velkostatkáře, zadotujou ty zemědělce, kteří na opatření proti suchu serou. ... zoufalost. #klimatickaKrize #sucho #politika

Babišova koalice proti suchu je marketingový trik na oblbnutí voličů. Schopnost krajiny zadržovat vodu souvisí především s tím, jak v ní hospodaříme. Máme problém s erozí, k níž přispívá intenzivní zemědělství, obrovská pole a pěstování monokultur. Svou roli hraje i nastavení dotací, které zvýhodňuje velké zemědělské podniky. Babiš je součástí problému, nelze předpokládat, že by byl zároveň řešením. Politikou, kterou realizujeme v zemědělství, bohužel opět podporujeme něco, co má nežádoucí dopady na zadržování vody v krajině. Musíme upřednostnit skutečně retenční opatření před betonovými zábranami a zdmi podél vodních toků. Boj se suchem nemůžeme vyhrát. Klimatická krize tady je a horka i záplavy budou v dalších letech jenom horší. Česko proto musí změnit způsob hospodaření s krajinou, podobu měst i přístup k městské zeleni. Současná iniciativa vlády je jak ze seriálu jistě pane ministře. Na pozadí jde vláda opačným směrem. Pravidla rozvolňuje, podporuje finančně agromamuty, ve stavebním zákoně umožňuje kácet zeleň či zastavovat zemědělskou půdu podél dálnic. Marketingem to nezakryjeS Pan ministr Šebestyán měl zástupce krajů a další svolat už dávno. Máme přece komisi, která má dlouhodobě řešit sucho. Ta měla být aktivována včas a měla přijít s konkrétními opatřeními. A jestli něco stavět, tak hlavně hráz babišizaci české, moravské a slezské krajiny. Nikoliv ji napomáhat. https://t.co/9HcZkCdtai #sucho #klimatickakrize #zemědělství
